[. . . ] EN - Installation and operating instructions Strictly observe the instructions in this manual. No liability is taken for any problems, damage or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual. The device is designed exclusively for domestic use for cooking food. The manufacturer declines any liability for inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the controls. [. . . ] 18 Use The induction cooking system is based on the physical phenomenon of magnetic induction. The key feature of this system is the direct transfer of energy from the generator to the pan. Benefits: When compared to electric hobs, your induction hob is: - Safer: lower temperature on the glass surface. - More accurate: the hob immediately reacts to your commands. - More efficient: 90% of the absorbed energy is transformed into heat. Moreover, once the pan is removed from the hob, the heat transmission is immediately interrupted, avoiding unnecessary heat losses. installation The electrical and mechanical installation must be performed by qualified personnel. The household appliance is designed to be recessed in a worktop (3-6 cm thick) The minimum distance between the hob and the wall must be at least 5cm at the front and at least 10 cm on the sides. 2 -Disconnect the device from the electric network. -The installation must be performed by professionally qualified personnel familiar with the applicable installation and safety standards. -The manufacturer declines any liability to people, animals or things in the case of failure to follow the guidelines provided in this chapter. -The power cable must be long enough to allow removal of the hob from the worktop -Make sure that the voltage on the rating plate on the bottom of the device corresponds to that of the house where it will be installed. -Earthing is legally compulsory -The earth power cable must be 2cm longer than the other cables -If the household appliance is not equipped with a power cable, use one with minimum conductor section of 2. 5 mm2 for power up to 7200 Watt; whereas for higher powers it must be 4 mm2. -At no point in the cable must it reach a temperature of 50° C above the ambient temperature. -The device is intended to be permanently connected to the electric network, therefore, make the connection to the fixed network via a standard omnipolar switch which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions of overvoltage category III, and that is readily accessible after the installation. Before reconnecting the circuit to the mains power supply and checking its correct operation, always check that the network cable is correctly assembled. The interconnection cable must be replaced by the authorised customer service. Cooking containers Only use pans bearing the symbol Important: to avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use: - containers with bottoms not perfectly flat. - metal containers with enamelled bottom. - containers with rough base, to avoid scratching the hob surface. - never place hot pots and pans on the control panel surface of the hob Pre-existing containers Induction cooking uses magnetism to generate heat.
